    Their red curry is pretty good, my husband had basil chicken, which he also enjoyed. I was extremely disappointed with my Thai tea; it had almost no cream and it was quite weak. The spring rolls were also lackluster. For the price it was not worth it. There are some phenomenal Thai restaurants in the area, I’m sad that this is not one of them.

    Told it would be a little bit for my food to get done, ordered three different curries at level 4 spiciness and some rice. Took two and a half hours for my food to be ready, the food had no spice at all, and all of the bowls were three-fourths liquid and hardly any ingredients. I wouldn't give a single star for this review if possible, Simply Better Thai is simply not even half decent Thai. Look at the photo after pouring the liquid off, just a mix of peas and chicken... At that, I received different sized containers of curry and not even a decent amount of food. If I hadn't paid for the food, I wouldn't have waited so long to begin with and a notice that I would be waiting two and a half hours would have prevented my other food from another place from going bad that I picked up while waiting to pick up this Thai. I will be requesting my money back as well, following this review. If I wanted chicken and pea soup, I'ld get a cheap can from the grocery store.

    Very, very good food!! Had the chicken, beef, and pork. Also had the noodles. Did it as a to-go order for three adults, and it was plenty!! Had asked for the flavor to be mild because it was for senior citizens and was very flavorful! Was told the owner has been operating for nearly nine years and enjoys cooking and serving. We are so happy to have found this restaurant and is now part of our go-to places! Highly recommend!!

    Excellent, fresh ingredients set this restaurant apart from so many others. The tom kha gai coconut soup is excellent! I prefer shrimp which is available, but chicken is good too. The sesame chicken is so tasty- white meat with crispy outside. Definitely recommend!

    One of the best if not THE best Thai restaurant around Fayetteville/Hope Mills. They also offer some Chinese dishes. We dined during the late afternoon so they weren't busy at all. All food was cooked freshly and spiced well. We've been going here for a few years and know we'll return.

    I ordered beef noodle soup it was good and flavorful but I was SO disappointed in the portion size. Very little beef. I paid 2.00 extra for broccoli and they added scraps.

    My first time eating Thai and it was delicious!!!!! Stir Fry with Garllic, shrimp, and pepper....service is warm and friendly, and the restaurant is very clean!!!

    Worse pineapple fried rice I've ever bought and I come from the Asia Pacific. Never had peanuts or raisins in fried rice and the pineapples were very sour. The chicken meat was super dry and hard like it was cooked 2 days ago. Would no recommend eating here. $13 fried rice into the trash 😏

    I'm obsessed with thai food and this place is my new go to !!

  • 2/5 Josue C. 5 months ago on Google
    4 lunch orders and a soup, $75 and tiny portions.

  • 5/5 Ilia S. 5 months ago on Google
    The best authentic Thai food I have had in Cumberland County.

  • 5/5 Kristie M. 6 months ago on Google
    My husband and I just went there for lunch. I thought the red curry shrimp was absolutely divine. We also had the shrimp rolls and my husband said his dish was fantastic. Portions were large. We both could not finish them and plan to have them for dinner tonight as well. Service was great. I especially liked the sauce with the fresh rolls. My red curry was a 2 and the perfect amount of spice to. It overwhelm. His dish was a 4 and I recommend that you like hot it you get a 4. I only tasted a couple of bites. Would recommend this place to all my friends!

    Amazing restaurant. Took a while to get our food but definitely worth the wait since everything is made from scratch. Amazing people, better food, and fantastic price

    I've had pad Thai in Singapore, and it wasn't this good! The portion looked small, but I couldn't eat it all. The waitress was very pleasant. I don't know if she was also cooking, as it did take a while, but it was well worth the wait and the price. I highly recommend Simply Better Thai!!

  • 5/5 Cristine M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is always fresh and amazing. All food can be made vegan/ vegetarian if requested also! If you haven’t tried this place yet I highly recommend it! One of the best restaurants Fayetteville has to offer! Also the spring rolls are really good and taste fresh also. You know how sometimes the spring rolls taste like mush on the inside at other places.

  • 5/5 Lando T. 5 years ago on Google
    I love eating here! The owners are so friendly and the food is amazing! The Pad Thai is the best and I haven't found any restaurant that makes it as good.

  • 5/5 Bill G. 6 years ago on Google
    My Favorite Thia place, anywhere. Also have loved the Chinese dishes. Since the entrance can be an issue after the city changed things, take caution. Another reason I try to come when in town. Super nice owner and staff too. Update: bet I've had 10 or so meals here. 100 % enjoyed each. Lunch portion fits me perfectly, med heat as well. Best in town!

  • 1/5 Jeremy E. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a joke! We got two shrimp with our so called large order of House Thai fried rice. It barely fed two people and had loads of Broccoli. More like Broccoli house fried rice for one person! Wasted 36 bucks!

    All starch no protein! Don't make the same mistake I did.

  • 1/5 Cara J. 2 years ago on Google
    What the....listen here, don't waste your money on the unbelievably small portions that cost the same as Asian Express! You will be so mad like I was! The pad thai is totally disgusting! 🤮 yuck! There's a salty, dark red sticky sauce that they put on it that is absolutely gross and will surely send your blood pressure sky high! I also paid for a house special fried rice, 🤮 YUCK! 2 SHRIMPS, SMALL PORTIONS OF BURNT CHEWY BEEF & CHICKEN...Ummm, what the? The chicken wings-subpar, nothing compared to Asian Express. The price definitely does not match the quality of food. I will never waste my money there again, even if the food was free...heck no! 🤮 🤮 YUCK! Oh, and the rude lady that takes the orders didn't help either, lol. She's probably mad because their food isn't good, lol. I guess that's why she was eating Bojangles at the counter. I should've went there instead of spending 50 bucks on some disgusting Thai Food!

  • 5/5 Maddison S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were a little wary to come here after reading a few of the bad reviews but those people couldn’t have been more wrong!!! The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were the perfect size. I got the pineapple fried rice and my husband got the Thai sweet and sour shrimp. Both of us were incredibly happy with our food and will 100% be coming back again. The atmosphere was cute, and quite and the service was great! We didn’t wait long for the food considering it was obviously made to order and incredibly fresh! 10/10 would recommend.

    I’ve been to Simply Better Thai many times at this point, and I have never been disappointed. The flavor and quality of the food is excellent, and the staff are always extremely friendly. The spring rolls are a must with any meal. The green curry (pictured) and red curry are amazing.
